The Funeral, collage (detail), Seiko Kato.

Another excellent collage work; this time not a recent discovery but dislodged from my memory of the excellent Pick Me Up Contemporary Graphic Arts Fair at London’s Somerset House held in March.

Kato’s works attracted a huge amount of attention, and for good reason: much of the work is thrillingly dense and literally deep, with layer upon layer of meticulously scalpel-cut illustrations combined to dizzying effect.
